Considering apartment across from Brooklyn Museum, 1st floor

Hi all! I'm considering an apartment off Eastern Parkway facing the Brooklyn Museum. It's a 1st floor apartment with the living area facing the street and the bedroom in the back. I know there will be noise and such but curious if this is should be a major dealbreaker, rather than just something to consider.

I'm moving from a quieter part of Bed-Stuy, but I do not mind noise and am highly intrigued by the prospect of living in a busier area.

EDIT: Thank you all for the insight! I am so excited to be coming to the neighborhood --- sounds like the right move for me :)

PSA: Parents, do not do this

As a parent, this was deeply distressing to witness. Please do not citibike with your child strapped too low, while wearing flip flops, fiddling with your phone, and forgoing helmets for you and your infant.

Noise level on eastern parkway next to grand army

Hey! I’m looking at a unit that faces Eastern Parkway right next to Grand Army Plaza. I love that it’s close to the park and the museum, but concerned about noise from the outside. The unit is on a lower level — 3rd floor.

Anyone know how loud it gets with cars and sirens? I’m not sure if it’s something that could be tuned out like white noise or would be constant and annoying.

We refinished a stoop find!

Thank you to whoever put this gem on the street a few months ago. We spent many hours sanding, repairing and staining. We love it and are so excited to move it into our new apartment!
